Young Boy With Windswept Legs Overjoyed After Undergoing Surgery To Correct Deformity

The boy who is just nine years old, was evidently born with windswept legs. Apparently, the deformity has restrained him from walking properly like other normal kids would.

However, things have changed for Yvan who is now able to walk well after getting his legs straightened in a surgery. Yvan can now walk like other normal kids.

The surgery was carried by The Mercy Ships, a group hospital ships in developing nations staffed by talented volunteers.

The Mercy Ships shared Yvan's story on Twitter;

They wrote: "No longer walking on windswept legs, 9-year-old Yvan is free on his newly-straightened limbs. “Seeing him walk brings me great joy,” says his father, Francis. “He can return to school and be free to play and work towards what he wants to do in the future.”
